I have a Laramie, with tan interior. It's a 06' with the fake looking wood door panel inserts, console, center bezel. Is there anybody that offers a carbon fiber kit for this truck? Or even factory Dodge part #s for carbon fiber?

Bump - I'm interested in this too.

Maybe this isn't the right section? Has to be more guys that didn't like the fake wood trim & swapped it out. I feel like i'm in my grandparents motor home.

Use your favorite search engine (google) for "wood dask kits", as most of them sell CF kits as well. Sherwooddash.com and wooddash.com have been around for a while and sell popluar kits.

I was thinking about taking them out and painting them.

I have googled, dogpiled, ebayed, kijiji'ed, had the dealer searching. Other then a 7 piece stick on kit, that in my opinion looks cheesy. Can not find factory pieces. The kits I have found that are "molded", "stick on" don't even include the "8th' piece required to cover the console trim. Had no idea this would be a challenge.

Exactly why more guys haven't changed it out :hehe:


I agree, the molded stick on pieces look absolutely terrible. I've been toying with the idea of using leather to cover those pieces but I haven't taken anything off to look. I don't know how easy it is to pull out just those faux wood pieces or if they're actually one piece with the door. For the dash you can use the brush satin bezel which is the other trim option.

I agree the "kits" you can buy look cheap, and would never do them. Further, I think they reduce the resale value of the vehicle since they look so bad.

Try this: Carbon Fiber cloth wrapping pieces, similar to this:

Or the 3M Di-Noc self-adhesive vinyl: Home Page > Search > Carbon Fiber > ES#1905439 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Wrap - 4' X 10' - CA421

This stuff looks neat. I'm getting some of that to see what it does on a few projects :thumbsup:

I did a couple things on another car i own, and it came out looking good. But i think the di-noc is easier to deal with. Both look outstanding, matte, and well textured. Please post pics of anything you do wrap!

As I hijack the post... :S:


My order of this CF cloth arrived yesterday. It's rainy around here but I'll get a post up of my own as I experiment and get some items done. :thumbsup: I need to read some installs and figure out how to go about installing for the best results.

Haven't worked on it yet. Trying to figure how to do the fake inserts in the door first since it looks like they aren't intended to pop out (do they?). BUT looking at installs, it's pretty straightforward on trim pieces.

I've put some pieces on some other items as small tests, it'll look good on a whole project.

Do a search on dodgetalk's forum. Its pretty easy to do the door panel inserts. Lots of people paint them. You just drill out the plastic weld/rivet things and then when you want to put them back, use a small machine screw and a washer. Something like a #6 x 1/4" screw. I have done it on my truck, but no pics.

I painted my 07 laramie dash and door panel pieces brilliant black metallic to match the exterior... turned out perfect!

 

[Silver70]

any pics on the paint?

any updates?

I also have an 06 Ram. I have the actually carbon fiber dask kit in mine and it looks amazing. I bought the truck off of some kid who already had the kit on so I don't know where he bought it. I did find you a 9 piece Carbon Fiber kit for $239.57 from Sherwood Dash Inc. If you would like I can take a picture of mine and post it. The link is below.
